U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry appeared to have flubbed his lines on Thursday, when he referred to areas controlled by the Palestinian Authority as a country, reported AFP.

Speaking at the United Nations ahead of talks with UN chief Ban Ki-moon, Kerry praised the "courageous decision" by Israeli and PA leaders to try to resume direct negotiations.

He then told reporters, "It's my hope that that will be able to happen as procedures are put in place by both countries in order to empower that."

The final status of the areas controlled by the PA has yet to be determined and no Palestinian state has been established.

State Department deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf assured reporters later that U.S. policy had not changed.

"Our position has not changed not on the status of the Palestinian territory. The secretary was in no way indicating a change of policy," she said, according to AFP.

Later asked about his comment, Kerry replied: "Did I say that?"

What you are telling me is that in the HYPOTHETICAL case that Kerry would ask for Israeli citizenship based on his father's ancestry, they would deny it? I mean, they would deny it not because who he is, but because his mother was not Jewish? I know that following the mother's line follows Halacha law, but I doubt Hitler cared for such niceties! It's been the question for centuries: what is a Jew?

As a disclaimer, I don't care whether Kerry is Catholic of Jew. American Jews seem to only pay lip service to Israel... if they do, at all. Look at Rahm Emanuel!

Kerry isn’t even his real name. It’s Kohn. His Grandparents changed their names by randomly pointing to an area on a map,and they hit county Kerry Ireland. So besides being a traitor he’s also a fraud...in reality he’s a Austro-Hungarian Jew.

Sounds like something Hitler would do.

You are understanding correctly. Kerry is not Jewish, nor does he consider himself Jewish.
